What A Week!! What A Joy! Our God is Great!
ARCADE CHURCH
Dear Arcade Family:
It is with great excitement that I write today in my first official week as your Senior Pastor. I am so thankful to God for the past two years and how He has used so many different occasions to stretch me and grow me. I have definitely felt God molding me for a time such as this. It is true that God causes all things for good, even when the road seemed cloudy and unsure. I want to personally thank all those who have supported my leadership over the past years and have been committed to praying for me and my family. I urge you all to fall face down and continue in intense prayer for Gods direction and movement in the future. We will be committed to listening to Gods voice and then following His lead. As I write this, I look up at my idea boards in my office and read, You cannot go faster than the one who is leading. This is a constant reminder that God is the leader of this church and we will follow Him.
Please pray for our staff as we listen to God and clearly develop exactly how and where to move from here. Pray for us as we dig into relationship with Jesus at a deeper, more intimate level and evaluate our current spiritual health. It is crucial that we are healthy so that we may lead others into a more vibrant, healthy relationship with Jesus.

P.S.
Please pray for me as I sense a desperate need to go away for a couple of weeks and just be in the presence of God. It is humbling to be your pastor. But I would remind us all that it is the Great Shepherd Who is pastoring this congregation . . . and I need to go away for a short while and rest in His presence and listen to Him. Thank you for praying for me. It means SO much!
